Your smoking rocks if you think this is “must” watch tv. The acting is B rate at best, same for the special effects. The lead is the male equivalent of bimbo playing at being a doctor and his bond with the villain, despite the rising body count, garners more than a few eye rolls. Van Helsing’s current season is the standard bearer for vampire apocalyptic drama, however, until the new season launches, this show is ok to pass the time.
